happened. we don't know if protocols were followed. there's a lot of unanswered questions. >> reporter: miami beach police say officers caught the award-winning artist spray-painting graffiti on an abandoned building. after chasing him down, police say he ran towards them, and that's when he tased him. >> they were making fun how he tensed up after getting tased. they were just laughing. >> reporter: hernandez died at the hospital. the medical examiner says more tests are pending and has not yet released a cause of death. the initial police report never mentions the tasing. instead, the incident appeared in a statement a day later, with miami beach police offering their condolences to the family of israel hernandez. but for family and friends of hernandez, who held a vigil overnight, it is not enough. >> trayvon martin's all over the world. this kid needs to be all over the world. he was doing nothing but expressing himself. >> reporter: they say the promising young artist didn't have any health conditions that could be blamed for his death. >> my brother's dead, isn't he? of course they went too far. >> reporter: for "good morning

america," aditi roy, abc news, new york. >> thank you, aditi. now, to an abc news exclusive. a truly remarkable story. the fbi is, in fact, looking for your help this morning. reopening an almost half-century-old mystery. a case involving kidnapping and mistaken identity. again, a remarkable story coming to light, now thanks to months of work by our barbara walters. and so on many of our colleagues here at abc. barbara, you're here with us this morning. and this all started when a newborn was stolen from a hospital in chicago. >> that's right. and by the way, you mentioned my colleagues. this is the whole abc investigative unit. and we're very big. imagine a mother whose baby is stolen right out of her arms. she gets the baby back. or so she thinks. and now, almost 50 years later, that son she raised has come forward to speak exclusively to us. looking at old family photographs of paul fronczak is a strange experience. because the baby in his baby pictures is not him.

how do you feel when you see this picture? >> i feel like i want to find him and hug him and make sure he's okay. >> reporter: paul fronczak recently discovered his entire life -- his name, his parents, his birthday, all of it -- is a big mystery. a mystery that began with a kidnapping 49 years ago, in 1964. just a day after paul fronczak was born. the first child of chester and dora fronczak. but baby paul was snatched from his mother's arms, right in the maternity ward of a chicago hospital. the baby was kidnapped. >> the baby was gone. >> reporter: her public appeal to the kidnapper went unheeded. >> do you have any suspects here in chicago that you're going to question? >> we are questioning suspects. >> reporter: a massive dragnet came up empty. but just over a year later, a child somewhat matching paul's description was found.

you are discovered in a stroller in newark, new jersey. >> abandoned in a stroller in a blue suit. >> reporter: the fronczaks claim the little boy in the blue suit as their own. and took him to chicago. now, as an adult, paul works for a college in nevada. he's married and has a child of his own. a normal life. until a year ago, when a dna test showed he is not the fronczaks' child after all. now that you know the truth, that you are not the real paul fronczak, what are you trying to accomplish? >> my main goal for this whole project is to find the real paul. my parents raised me. and they did a great job. and i feel that if i don't do everything i can to help find their real child, then i'm not doing my job as a son. >> and you just mentioned it. paul fronczak wants to find paul fronczak. >> the real paul fronczak.

and who is he? >> so, why did he, after all these years, get that dna test? >> his parents didn't want it. they wanted to just -- you know, you're our son. let sleeping dogs lie. but he always knew that he was different. he has a brother. the true son, the biological son of the fronczaks. he knew he was different. and he had to find out why. >> and again, you mentioned it, it's not just a search for him. it's a search for himself, as well. the fbi has reopened this case. is paul the man we know, the man we saw you interview, is he hopeful that this will be concluded, resolved in some way? >> what he said to me is i am cautiously optimistic. and what he wants from everybody else, is that if you know anything about him, any of you watching or any of you know anything, please let us know because he hopes that he will know more when this information is discovered. and also, all of the abc unit is working on it. so, we're going to investigate. we hope we can find it out.

and the full report will be out in the fall. this is a mystery within a mystery. >> this is a "20/20" i'm not going to miss. thank you so much, barbara. again, if you have any tips or clues that can help solve this case, please go to goodmorningamerica.com on yahoo! send them to us now. lara? >> all right, josh, thank you. we turn, now, to a story that's a true miracle. a woman trapped in the wreckage of a car crash, as rescue workers try in vain to free her. like an answer to a prayer, help arrives just in time. but that's the beginning of the mystery. abc's john muller has the story. >> reporter: this morning, a small missouri town is looking for the man in this sketch. he's not suspected of a crime, but a miracle. >> i think that i actually witnessed a guardian angel at work. >> reporter: a drunk driver hit katie in her vehicle. her vitals failing fast.

she asked rescue crews to pray with her. that's when first responders say a man who looked like a catholic priest, seemed to appear out of nowhere, despite a two-mile perimeter. blocking the scene. >> he began to pray and use the anointing oil. there was a calmness to me that seemed to come over the entire scene. >> reporter: another seemingly divine detail. firefighters said their equipment kept failing until that mystery man showed up. >> the words were to remain calm. that our tools would now work. at that moment, our neighboring department arrived with fresh tools. >> reporter: she was saved. but when crews turned around to thank the man, he vanished. this morning, she's recovering in the hospital, with broken legs and limbs. -- ribs. but some say it could have been worse. if not for that seemingly heavenly hero on the highway. >> whether it was a priest as an angel, or an actual angel that came in, he was an angel to all those and to katie. >> reporter: for "good morning america," john muller, abc news, new york. >> what a stunning story that is. okay, we're going to get

back to sam now. sam, update on hurricane season under way. >> update on the hurricane season. what you should know is it's just slightly adjusted downward. but it's still above normal. maybe even way above normal for the season. the normal number would be 12. we're going 13 to 19 named storms. we think it's going to be an active hurricane season. should kick off being active august toward september. here's the heat. it gets warmer and drier. we lose that cloud cover. we're concerned with what happens with that fire situation in the west.

known she's planning to write a tell-all memoir. and was talking publicly about her decision to leave the choice, as seen here on "access hollywood." >> i'm good. i have my family. my real friends are behind me. and that says a lot. >> reporter: now this. abc news confirming that remini filed a missing persons report with the los angeles police department, on the wife of the man who runs the church of scientology, david miscavige. >> yes, we have an utter monopoly on workable solutions. >> reporter: kelly miscavige, who we're told is friends with leah remini, seen together in this picture in 2005, posted by the journalist and scientology critic, tony ortega, who broke this story. shelly hasn't been seen in many years. making her current whereabouts, a source of feverish speculation, among the church's many critics. janet wrightman is the author of "inside scientology." >> she was his wife. she was his close adviser.

she would have been an integral part of every aspect of his life. her absence has been quite noticed by, particularly people, who have been in the upper echelons of the church, the executives. >> reporter: hours after leah remini filed that missing persons report, the lapd told abc news, quote, the case is closed. and that the report that shelly is missing is unfounded. overnight, the church released a statement, saying this ill-advised, ludicrous self-promotion, and the media inquiries it generated, caused an inexcusable distraction for the lapd. the entire episode was nothing more than a publicity stunt for miss remini. janet wrightman argues the church must see remini as a challenge. >> of course they're worried about her. leah remini really believed in this. she feels quite betrayed. >> as for shelly miscavige, the

lapd tells abc news that she is alive. her detectives have met with her within the past two days. interestingly, the lapd said this is not the first time they've had a missing persons report filed on shelly miscavige. fascinating story. back to you. >> and nothing short of stunning. thank you, dan. we're going to bring in dan abrams here with more. and, dan, you were just saying, that, after letting this go for a bit, we're now seeing the church fire back in a way, perhaps, we've become accustomed to. >> yeah, it's clear this is now an all-out war between leah remini and the church of scientology. dan harris and i were talking backstage about this. about the fact you haven't seen language like this from the church, against her up to this point. they've been trying to be careful. they've been using kid gloves. but now, they're going after her. you heard that statement. this is now an all-out battle. >> now, the lapd, rather quickly confirmed that this was a closed case. what would they have done to have done that?

>> they have to take the report. then, the question is establishing how viable it is. is there actually a missing person there? that's the first thing they did here. a lot of people were saying, well, what are they going to do to establish she's missing? they did what you expect them to do in any case. put aside scientology. they went and found her. and they talked to her. and they've now determined, okay, she's not missing. this is unfounded. they could have said we're going to leave this open. we haven't made any determination. they came out and called this closed and said that this is unfounded. >> and, dan, what about the people who are out there saying, this still doesn't sound kosher? this sounds suspicious. we haven't seen shelly in public for a number of years. >> it's a fair question to ask. on the one hand, people are allowed to disappear. right? you're allowed to go underground for whatever reason, as long as you're not being kidnapped. you're allowed to do that. the question is, what led her to do that? and that's what's leading to all of the questions.

why would she have suddenly done that? that's a separate question. >> certainly, many more questions here, dan. thank you for that. we're going to turn, now, for another look at the weather. and sammy, how -- it's looking rather autumnal. >> yeah, i know. some folks have had a very cool august. autumnal. i know, it's good. >> he pulled that word out. >> autumnal. that's nice. >> i'm the bad guy. >> no. no. it's lovely. we love it. we love it. love to say it. here's what's going on, international falls. it's 48. two mornings now with record-low temperatures. yesterday in the 30s. it doesn't feel -- some would say fall-like. others would say autumnal. but it doesn't feel like august. and that's what you need to remember. as we drop this -- as we drop that jet stream down, and we bring some drier air into the northeast, don't worry. it's not colder, drier air. it is perfect summer weather for the weekend. once you get rid of the showers
